Starring Momo
The planets of the solar system · Class 5 and up

Solar System Park. Something is wrong.

Momo: Look at these planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, they're out of order.

The Muddle Troll: I swapped every label! Now they are all mixed up and confused!

Momo: We need to fix this. How do we know the right order?

First: order matters

Mercury is closest

Pluto is not a planet now

Planets stay in line

Momo: Each planet has its own place in the solar system.

The Muddle Troll: Mercury is closer to Sun than Venus, ha!

Momo: Mercury is closer to the Sun than Venus. Venus is closer than Earth.

Mercury, Venus, Earth

Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

Next: remember the order

M-my-mercury

V-Venus-very

E-Earth-easy

Momo: Use silly words to remember the order. M-my-mercury, V-Venus-very, E-Earth-easy.

Your turn, hero!
